Look up the word nationalist,stop calling Trump a racist
Re: “2020 rivals grapple with president’s rhetoric” (Page A1, July 22):
I can’t figure out why President Trump is labeled a racist. I would call him a nationalist. I don’t think he would say anything different if a blond, blue-eyed, white European came into the country and started berating it.
Given some of the things the “squad” said and did to dismiss our wonderful country and its president, he (and I) would be just as offended if they were all white.
And Trump’s quote about the refugees in 2015, “They’re bringing drugs. They’re bringing crime. They’re rapists. And some, I assume, are good people,” doesn’t mean they all are rapists, drug dealers. etc.; some are, and it’s true. Is that racist? I like to think he would say that about anyone storming the country without going through the immigration process.
Get a grip. Look up the word nationalist and give up the false accusations.
